View From the Bushes

I have this distinct memory from the weekend where I thought, boy I'll have a ton of stuff to blog about on Monday. Now that Monday has arrived, I can't think of a single thing to say. Of course, I could have just dreamed I had something to say; I did sleep a lot over the weekend. On Friday I went out to dinner with the "men-folk" of my family. When I got back home, I intended to stay up and wait for my wife to get home with the other kids at 9:30, but I was so tired that I ended up going to bed at 9:00. On Sunday I ended up taking not one, but two, naps. I do remember having quite a few dreams, though none of them exciting enough to relate.

So since there's no hope of anything even remotely interesting coming from me, it would be worthwhile to put in some links. Unfortunately I'm not in the mood to write about the Iraqi Election results or the new strand of drug-resistant AIDS or Ray Charles' posthumous sweep of the grammys. The New York Times did do a great write-up on World of Warcraft in particular the growing pains they've experienced. It's nice to see video games get some coverage in the main-stream media, even if it is the New York Times.

There is a slightly funny story about that. I was talking to a friend of mine at work and I guess he accidentally sold his main weapon while he was playing World of Warcraft. The incident upset him so much that he sold everything he had, and then deleted his character. I've played with people like that before, people who get so frustrated that they just quit the game in some spectacular fashion. I thought it was pretty funny, though I was a little upset that he didn't mail me all his money before he deleted the character...
